It also accounts for 1/10th of total global stock market capital, 15% of global exports and 25% of Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries’ (OPEC) gross domestic product. The industry also requires intense capital, expensive equipment and highly skilled labour [2] and supports a huge workforce of skilled and specialized professionals (10 million in the United States alone).
